About Oddbox

Oddbox is a purpose driven business fighting food waste and we are looking for an extraordinary individual who is also an odd veggie lover and food waste fighter to play a key role in our expansion.

We create a secondary market for wonky and surplus fruits and vegetables by reclaiming this perfectly good produce and delivering them weekly to people’s homes and offices via UK’s largest fruit & veg box scheme.

Oddbox are the provider of UK’s only impact focused misshapen and surplus fruits for offices. We don’t just provide fruits for businesses. We provide a corporate sustainability service where companies buy us because they want to do good and feel good by directly reducing food waste.

We’ve sold 400,000 meals to date, saved over 500,000 kgs of fresh produce from going to waste. We grew our customer base 400% in 2018 and saw a massive 70% growth in customer numbers in January of 2019 alone.

We are looking to grow even faster and be nationwide by 2020. We completed a successfully oversubscribed crowdfunding raise where we had over 500 investors investing over £520,000. We’ve been voted UK’s best fruit & veg box scheme by The Independent who say “Oddbox gets top marks for both variety of produce and its valiant efforts to slash food waste” but check us out for yourself on www.oddbox.co.uk or watch the Oddbox in 60 seconds video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-7FAC_dXTA .
